Document background
The Investment Owners Contract serves as the foundational document for structuring investment relationships under German law. It is primarily used when establishing or formalizing investment arrangements where multiple parties invest in a common investment vehicle or enterprise. The document addresses critical aspects required by German investment law, including investor rights, governance structures, profit distribution mechanisms, and regulatory compliance requirements. It incorporates provisions from the Kapitalanlagegesetzbuch (KAGB) and other relevant German legislation, making it suitable for various investment structures from venture capital to private equity arrangements. The Investment Owners Contract is particularly important for documenting the rights and obligations of all parties involved, ensuring transparent governance, and providing clear mechanisms for dispute resolution and exit strategies.
